- int_19h 3y agoFonts with "programming ligatures" have been a thing for some time now, and those ligatures tend to favor certain language families in practice.
- proc0 3y agoRight, but they are general purpose monospace fonts. I would think something like a Haskell font or Python font would go beyond that and provide tailored designs for those languages. I wouldn't be surprised if those exist, but haven't seen them.

- pxc 3y agoIs Hasklig not already such a font? https://github.com/i-tu/Hasklig https://github.com/i-tu/Hasklig
